My science and technology museum - Chapter 157 Excitement Overseas
The emergence of Loongson Group has brought the performance of silicon-based chips directly to the theoretical physical limit.
Determine its absolute position in the semiconductor market.
Therefore, the two fabs with the most advanced chip manufacturing technology, Sanxing and Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, suddenly fell out of the public eye, and all their high-end chip foundry orders were snatched away by the Loongson Group.
In this case, they can only choose to work together to save themselves and develop carbon-based chips with higher performance.
After all, the development of silicon-based chips has come to an end, and new research and development routes must be taken to achieve overtake.
Leveraging on the rich experience accumulated from its early involvement in the field of carbon-based chips, and the sincere cooperation between the Ru0026D personnel of both parties to exchange technologies, they finally achieved a breakthrough.
They successfully developed carbon-based chips that can be mass-produced.
And after testing this chip, its performance far exceeds that of 1 nanometer silicon-based chips.
Although carbon-based chips are slightly more expensive than traditional silicon-based chips in terms of cost and price, there is no doubt that they have the qualifications to re-compete with Loongson Group and compete for the dominance of the semiconductor industry.
After various subsequent tests and studies proved the feasibility of the carbon-based chip, the two parties officially announced this landmark research result.
Not exaggerating.
This news was like a bombshell, instantly causing uproar in the industry.
In addition to Qualcomm Pingguo who came to inquire immediately, Gugwei Software and other parties publicly expressed their congratulations.
The global semiconductor industry, which was originally calm, has once again fallen into chaos.
…
Licanife Island.
Pingguo Spaceship Headquarters Building.
“It’s great. I’ll see what else Warwick can do to compete with us this time.”
As the CEO in the office, Kulas looked excited and shouted this in front of his subordinates without caring about his image.
Mainly because I haven’t been so happy today for a long time.
Some can’t control their emotions.
Looking at this period of time, Kulas was either depressed about sodium-ion batteries or worried about future technology of solid-state batteries. He saw that the company’s share in the high-end market was gradually being taken by Warwick.
The key is that he doesn’t have any good way to deal with it.
Until today he learned some exciting news.
Semiconductor Manufacturing Company has actually conquered the carbon-based chip production process, and its chip performance has completely surpassed the silicon-based chips of Loongson Group.
This means they have regained control of high-end chips.
As long as mobile phones equipped with carbon-based chips are released by then, it will re-form the core competitiveness of its own brand and regain the occupied high-end mobile phone market.
After nearly a minute, Kuras’s mood gradually calmed down, and he immediately gave instructions to Mel in front of him: “Get in touch with Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. as soon as possible. This time we are going to reorganize the layout of Asia.” District Market.”
“Report to the boss.”
“Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has stated that it will give priority to manufacturing carbon-based chips for us.”
“If nothing else happens, we will become the first mobile phone brand company to use carbon-based chips.”
“very good.”
After hearing Mel’s answer, Kulas immediately expressed his affirmation of her work, and at the same time, the confidence on his face became more and more abundant.
It seems that I have already seen in my mind the picture of Pingguo mobile phone once again galloping in the Asian market.
Pingguo’s return to industry dominance is just around the corner.
But at this moment, I heard Mel raise a new difficult question.
“boss.”
“Although the performance of carbon-based chips far exceeds that of silicon-based chips, the cost and price have also increased accordingly.”
“If the price of mobile phones increases as a result, will it lead to the loss of users?”
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Users are accustomed to the preferential prices of Pingguo mobile phones. If the price rises again due to the increase in chip costs, it is inevitable that some people will not buy it. As a result, the attractiveness of carbon-based chips will also decrease. .
I have to say that Mel’s worries are reasonable, and he doesn’t want to see his mobile phone fail in the market again.
Upon hearing this, Kulas’s face became a little solemn at first, and then he seemed to have made some important decision, and suddenly said seriously: “The situation you mentioned does need to be considered, but in order to regain market share, the price must not be raised this time. rise.”
“Even if you sacrifice part of your profits, you still have to maintain the original price.”
Kulas is very aware of Pingguo’s current situation. Without solid-state batteries, it is indeed difficult to fully suppress Warwick’s flagship phone.
Anyway, in the long run, sacrificing some profits is still a cost-effective deal.
As long as Pingguo can return to its original high-end market position, it will only be so easy to make money back in the future.
In short, the wool comes from the sheep.
Kulas’ decision naturally received strong support from Mel, who believed that this was a very good idea, although it was a bit bold but extremely practical.
“I understand boss.”
As Mel responded respectfully, he immediately turned around and exited the office, continuing to discuss with Semiconductor Manufacturing staff about the OEM production of carbon-based chips.
As for Kulas, he still stayed in the office, enjoying this sense of comfort that he had not experienced in a long time.

And at the same time.
Marsne, who returned to Sask. with anger, appeared in the security building in Washington.
Tesla was forced to withdraw from the sub-regional market because of Xingyuan Smart Cars, and even sold the newly built super factory. This debt was all placed on Xu Lei, how could it be easily revealed? .
But the most important thing is to restrict Xingyuan smart cars from entering overseas markets, otherwise Tesla may not even be able to keep its hometown.
Although future technology is basically impossible to build overseas due to the serious impact of charging centers and battery replacement stations on oil transactions, pure new energy vehicles have not yet been included in the restricted list.
After all, it didn’t take long for Xingyuan smart car to be launched.
But during this trip to Binjiang City, Marsen deeply understood the power of future technology.
If Xingyuan smart cars are allowed to enter overseas markets, with their powerful driverless mode, I am afraid that there will be a new major change in the industry.
I don’t know how many local new energy vehicle brands will suffer.
The first one to bear the brunt is their Truss.
Having just experienced the failure of the Asian market, we must keep our base camp no matter what.
So Marsn came to Kaufman this time for this reason.
“Mr. Kaufman, I hope you can allow the Xingyuan smart car with limited future technology to enter overseas markets.”
“Otherwise this will have a huge impact on our local new energy vehicle industry.”
“In addition, our Starlink project can also carry out in-depth cooperation with you to fully prepare for future changes in the world pattern.”
In the top office of the security building, after meeting the person in charge, Kaufman, Masen did not mince words and directly stated his purpose and sincerity.
It is worth mentioning that the Starlink project that Masen mentioned was a project that he started to implement a few years ago.
According to the plan, thousands of satellites will be launched to form a star chain to provide satellite broadband services to the ground. This project is not only to compete with the domestic 5G network, but also can be used at various levels such as the military, and will have a serious impact on spacecraft.
If used properly, unexpected results can certainly be achieved.
Now that Mashaen has publicly stated that he wants to cooperate with the military, it shows how much he attaches importance to Xingyuan smart cars.
I have to say that Marsne did find the right person this time.
Ever since the last virus intrusion caused Future Technology’s Internet security protection software Star Shield to become a must-have product for overseas users and small and medium-sized enterprises, Kaufman has been worried about this matter and thinking about solutions.
After all, if so many people install a product with a remote and uncontrolled server on their terminal devices, it is a question whether user information and data will be leaked.
Although they like to do this very much, it does not mean that they want their data to be leaked.
As Mike said before, this is very dangerous.
If the encrypted data information had not required Star Shield to be fully restored, he would not have allowed Star Shield to develop to this scale.
Of course, during this period of time, their security building was not idle at all. In addition to completely filling the loopholes in the system to ensure that it would not be attacked by virus programs, they were also looking for opportunities to take Star Shield offline overseas.
The main future technologies now involve too many advanced technology industries, especially the production of high-end chips.
If there are restrictions on the Star Shield, it will inevitably lead to the situation becoming uncontrollable.
It wasn’t until Semiconductor Manufacturing Company officially announced that it had conquered the carbon-based chip manufacturing process that Kaufman suddenly understood that the opportunity to take action had finally come.
So after listening to Masen’s request, he immediately replied with a smile: “Don’t worry, this time it will not only be new energy vehicles of future technology, but also Star Shield will be included in the list.”
“This technology company is really growing too fast, and it must be restrained.”
“If necessary, we will fully cooperate.” Seeing that his goal was achieved so easily, Masen quickly stood up and agreed after hearing the sound.
Because they have been waiting for this day for a long time, there is nothing to delay in the formal implementation process.
Within a few days, Star Shield officially announced the offline version of its overseas version under the pretext of collecting user information. At the same time, Star Shield smart cars were classified into charging centers and battery replacement stations. They are products that seriously affect crude oil trading and are not conducive to social stability. Banned from appearing in Northern Magnesium.
In response to this announcement, many relevant forces also expressed their recognition.
However, when the news came back to China, neither Loongson Group nor Future Technology showed much surprise.
Although I am surprised by this, I am not worried.
After all, the existence of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has always been prepared for danger in times of peace, and it will not simply satisfy the status quo in technological development. Although under the leadership of Xu Lei, the country has successfully developed a domestic top-level lithography machine, it has also not stopped researching other areas of chips.
Almost as soon as Semiconductor Manufacturing Company announced that it had conquered carbon-based chips, Xu Lei received a call from Yang Senping, and the two had an in-depth exchange of ideas.
